I’ve got as far as ’set up milestone tweets’ but I can’t see where to go from there! Sorry to be so stupid, but Twitter is all new to me! I just want to get the message about my book across! (I’m not even sure if I’ve done the rest of it all right!)
You have set it up everything right. ”Set-up Milestone Tweets”. This feature causes BookBuzzr to send out tweets to your followers everytime an important milestone is reached for your book. Think of this as a little Twitter celebration when the reader count for your book reaches 100, 1,000 and 10,000. when every time a reader views your book or when the milestone is reached you can see the message in the Twitter
Do I have any control over the “Related Books” that appear at the end of the widget?
At present we do not offer authors the ability to control what kind of related books show up. We show up related books from the same or similar categories.
My book cover isn’t showing up on the widget.
If a book cover image is uploaded separately then it will be visible in the widget and email signature. Please follow the instructions below to get the book cover on the widget.
1) Login to freado, you can see ‘Edit Details’ option in the book profile.
2) Click on it which leads to ‘Add book details’ profile.
3) Here you can see ‘Book Cover Image’ option where you can upload the cover of your book.
When I try to put my cover image it says, if not the correct size it will be resized. My jpg is a little over the 2 and it won’t resize.
If the jpg image size is less than 2MB or images which are more than 160×160 pixels then our application will resize it automatically. If the size is more than 2MB then one has to resize the picture preferably to 160×160 pixels (gif/jpg/png) manually and later upload.
If people have the ability to read your book online how do you have any sales.
You don’t need to give your whole book away online. You just need to give a part of your book (say the first 30 to 50 pages.) This enables a potential reader to sample your book and make a buying decision.
